The event will provide a preview to the museum’s “Forever CELIA” exhibit that officially opens Oct. 18. That exhibit, said to be largest-ever exhibit of Cruz’s six-decade career, will showcase some of her personal belongings and artifacts such as costumes, wigs and albums. Visit thecuban.org.

Presented by Loud and Live, the two-night event starring Lucrecia will retell episodes from Cruz’s life, such as the time in 1960 when she was on tour in Mexico and she was not allowed by Fidel Castro to return to her native Cuba. The musical, which will have a 12-piece band and dancers performing some of Cruz’s famous hits, will be entirely in Spanish at the center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House.

At the event, Cruz’s image will be featured on emBRAZEN Wines Chardonnay label. Tickets for the musical start at $59. Visit arshtcenter.org.
